This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on identifying promising long-term infrastructure investment opportunities. The authors highlight important long-term trends. These include: the increasing importance of knowledge-based learning activities; the more modest pace of economic growth in Canada & other advanced industrial economies; the emergence of Asia as the new centre of world economic growth; & the worsening of global environmental problems. On the basis of these trends the authors develop a list of promising infrastructure projects centred on 4 objectives: increase Canada's participation in the global learning economy (investment in pre-school learning, secondary school performance, & Internet tools & applications); build trust between economic actors through local institutions which would evaluate major projects & make the results available to affected communities; improve the quality of life & the environment (promoting use of electric vehicles, introducing urban recycling programs); reposition Canada in the world economy by establishing multidisciplinary centres of excellence in research on global economic & social issues.

Download or read book Villes et politiques urbaines au Canada et aux Etats Unis written by Université de Paris III. Centre d'études canadiennes de la Sorbonne nouvelle and published by Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle. This book was released on 1997 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'analyse de l'évolution de la ville nord-américaine, surtout depuis les années 1960, permet d'identifier les maux actuels, d'étudier les solutions envisageables et d'évaluer les enjeux sociaux, économiques, urbanistiques et politiques. La perspective comparative a été volontairement privilégiée car elle permet de mieux dégager la spécificité de la ville canadienne. La comparaison est essentiellement centrée sur le Canada et les États-Unis mais n'exclut pas quelques allusions au modèle britannique. Trois avenues disciplinaires ont été privilégiées, celle qui relève du politique, celle qui relève du sociologique et celle qui a trait aux disciplines liées à l'étude et à l'aménagement de l'espace (pour cette dernière, trois axes ou trois niveaux d'analyse ont été retenus et traitent de l'organisation de l'espace, du fonctionnement de l'économie et de la gestion politique tant au niveau national/fédéral que régional ou local). On constate les signes d'une évidente évolution, qu'il s'agisse du passage du semi-social au pénal, c'est-à-dire d'un système de protection à un système de pénalisation ou bien encore du passage de la sphère publique à celle du privé et, enfin, d'une dévolution de pouvoirs qui transfère les responsabilités du niveau central à l'échelon local. On est ainsi passé de la phase de la réglementation par le sommet à une phase de désengagement qui permet les initiatives de la base et du socio-communautaire. Le bilan d'ensemble est à la fois clair et plutôt sombre. Face à l'affaiblissement de la notion de responsabilité collective, l'Impression dominante est de se trouver de plus en plus face à des problèmes sans issue, sans solution mais il est vital de ne pas abandonner. Notre volonté également partagée doit être celle de bâtir la cité idéale, même si cela peut relever de l'utopie. L'ère des illusions et des attentes déçues a conduit à celle du soupçon et de l'impatience. Nous aimerions pouvoir entretenir encore l'Illusion ultime que le progrès est possible. Ce n'est qu'à ce prix que la ville cessera d'être le monde de la barbarie pour devenir celui de la civilisation.

Download or read book Gares et quartiers de gares written by Philippe Menerault and published by IFSTTAR/INRETS. This book was released on 2001 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le thème de l'inscription des gares dans le tissu urbain est au cœur de cet ouvrage qui propose une série de "regards croisés" entre disciplines (géographie-urbanisme-architecture), entre thématiques (proximité-connexité ; lieu-nœud) et entre terrains d'analyses (gares lilloises et rennaise pour la France, expériences et démarches d'aménagements aux Pays-Bas, au Japon et en Italie). Deux interrogations, qui unissent l'espace et le temps, traversent ce document : • À l'échelle des quartiers, les grandes opérations liées à l'aménagement des gares semblent faire violence au territoire local ; pourtant, restituées dans le long terme, la continuité des débats sur la planification comme la permanence des pratiques n'attestent-elles pas aussi de certaines formes de "ménagement du territoire" ? • Face à l'extension et à la transformation morphologique et fonctionnelle de la ville, quel peut être le rôle du système de transport ferroviaire et des gares périphériques dans l'organisation urbaine ? Sous l'angle de la connexité, des applications de "l'Urbanisme des réseaux" permettent de revisiter les liens entre gares et quartiers de gares.
